Biking - Saratoga-Ballston Lake Loop

My friend Ted was up from Long Island this holiday weekend, and wanted to get out for a ride.  He has a second home in Saratoga, so I suggested a 30-mile ride starting at SPAC,  heading south, and looping around the southern end of Ballston Lake.  I had done this ride once before, and it worked out pretty well.  We timed it so that Ted and his wife Diane and Holly and I could all get together for lunch afterwards.

It was a beautiful dry cool calm morning as we set off, just a perfect day for riding, and there were lots of other bicyclists on the roads.  We finished as planned with time to spare, and then headed off to 50 South for a late lunch, followed by some pie back at Ted and Diane's place.  By now, it was getting warm outside, and we were glad we'd gotten the ride in early.  Great day with great friends.
